Apa Set Pergigian Implan Apart? Often Noticed in These Three Aspects!

First, let's take a look at what components make up a dental implant.

How to choose an implant that can accompany you for a lifetime? You need to consider the following three aspects:

Mekanikal Prestasi daripada the Implan

Biocompatibility of the Bahan

Permukaan Rawatan daripada the Implan

1. Mekanikal Prestasi daripada Implant - Can Implan Withstand the Pressure?

The mechanical performance of the implant refers to its tensile strength and fatigue resistance.

Once the implant is placed in the oral cavity, it needs to bear the corresponding biting forces. However, if, due to the patient's own conditions, there isn't enough bone to support an implant of a certain size, artificial bone grafting surgery may be necessary.

Opt for a slimmer implant. Nevertheless, the tensile strength of the majority of Grade IV pure titanium implants is approximately 550MPa, making them susceptible to intraoral fractures under excessive biting forces.

To achieve minimally invasive surgery while ensuring the implant won't break under excessive biting forces, we need a material with better mechanical performance-Titanium-Zirconium alloy. Not only does it reduce the volume of the implant, but it allows it it to withstand greater biting forces. Adding Zr (zirkonium element) to pure Ti (titanium) can effectively increase the strength of the implant by 30%, reaching a strength of over 850MPa.

2. Bahan Biokompatibiliti - Can your implant withstand scrutiny?

As an "outsider," can the implant pass the scrutiny of your immune system, seamlessly integrate with surrounding tissues, avoid causing rejection, and simultaneously prevent acute and chronic inflammation in the tissues? This is the key to whether the implant can endure for the long term.

Manakala Titanium-Zirkonium aloi is the only alloy material that is equivalent to and surpasses Grade IV pure titanium in terms of biocompatibility. Implants made from this material can peacefully coexist with surrounding tissues, laying a solid foundation for future osseointegration.

3. Surface Rawatan daripada the Implan - Can your implant retain support?

Selepas implantasi, for the implant to endure and thrive, it needs the support of osteoblasts (tulang-membentuk sel that attach to the implant's surface) present in the bloodstream.

Pertama, let's get acquainted with osteoblasts!

Osteoblasts are oval or cuboidal cells with a diameter of 20-40 micrometers. When they attach to the surface of the implant and undergo further differentiation, they form small hands and feet (matrix projections) 2-4 micrometers. Eventually, this process leads to the formation of new bone cells, commonly known as the growth of new bone. To gain the enthusiastic support of osteoblasts, the surface of the implant needs to align with the morphology and size of osteoblasts. Only then will osteoblasts willingly make themselves at home on the implant surface.

Once osteoblasts have successfully attached to the surface of the implant, they extend numerous {{}} micrometer small hands and feet (matrix projections). It is through the coordinated efforts of these hands and feet that osteoblasts firmly anchor themselves to the implant surface. Subsequently, they differentiate into bone cells, commonly referred to as the growth of new bone, leading to the formation of osseointegration between the implant and the bone. Oleh itu, when considering the surface morphology of the implant, it is essential not only to account for the size and shape of osteoblasts but also to remember their hands and feet.

The formation of a strong bond between the implant and bone typically requires 12 weeks or even longer. Titanium-zirconium alloy implants with hydrophilic surfaces significantly enhance the implant's "attraction." Effortlessly drawing blood rich in osteoblasts and various fibrous proteins to its surroundings, they rapidly initiate blood clotting.

Pada masa yang sama, the active surface accelerates the differentiation of osteoblasts into bone cells, facilitating the formation of new bone between the implant and existing bone. A robust osseointegration can be established in just 3-4 weeks!

Oleh itu, when you are choosing an implant that can withstand pressure, withstand scrutiny, and retain support - one that will accompany you throughout your life, be sure to investigate its mechanical performance, biocompatibility, and surface treatment technology!
